In our recent lesson from the life of John Calvin, we recommended reading the Institutes. Here are three current ways the institutes is available.

1. McNeill / Battles Translation of the Institutes – This is widely regarded as the best English translation of the Institutes. It is more pricey, so don’t get this until you have sampled a bit of the other options first.
2. Beveridge Translation of the Institutes – This is the most widely available cheap way to access the institutes. You can buy a very inexpensive one-volume translation of the Institutes or you can access this version for free online through the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.
